Ciao & Welcome to Italy Tours with Mauro! I have been involved in the Tour Industry for over 13 years now and look forward to sharing my Beautiful country, it's food, it's traditions and of course it's values on life with all of you. Before entering into the Tour Industry I had spent 15 years in the area of Italian culinary adventures. I have first hand knowledge to share with each of you regarding the different regions, their food, wines, cheeses and tasty treats on the side like olive oil, balsamic and the art of truffles! Not to mention the best Gelato in each hilltop town inside and out of Rome. I'm originally from the Eastern side of Italy on the Adriatic Sea, a region called Puglia. So I am no stranger to the best beaches, sea food and nature that Italy has to offer as well. I am young, energetic, fun spirited, honest and most of all always on time. I look forward to having an adventure with you and yours soon! 5 years as a Tour Director of Italian Tours for an American Tour Company based in Rome. 15 years in the Italian Food and Wine industry. I am not a certified Vatican Museum or Colosseum Guide.

Overview of your Rome tour

Take advantage of special no-wait entry at the Vatican and skip-the-line access to the Colosseum and while others wait in line, you experience the majesty of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica, followed by the ancient glory of the Colosseum( 1st & 2nd Floor only included ), Palatine Hill, and Roman Forum, all with me as your private guide. You will also explore the main sites around the city: The Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, Via del Corso, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, Supreme Court and you will stop for lunch at Ciampini. After lunch, you will discover the Appian Way where you will see the original door to Rome and also more than 15 miles of Catacombs. Afterwards we will explore the Pyramid on the Roman wall, the Port of San Paolo, the Key-Hole of Rome (Knights of Malta), Circus Maximus, the mouth of Truth, the Tiber River, the Jewish Ghetto and Greek temples.

We enjoyed our time with Mauro over the 2-day tour. He is personable and knowledgeable, and makes getting to all the sites so easy. This is a good overview of the most important areas in Rome. He can also provide plenty of suggestions for things to do on your own time. He went out of his way for a site that wasn’t on the usual itinerary and we appreciated that. You will love this tour.

Book this tour today!! Do not hesitate. You will not find a better guide than Mauro. He is kind, knowledgeable, caring, funny and accommodating! We had a group of 6 adults and Mauro went above and beyond to ensure our group was taken care of from the start to the finish and taught us so much about Rome. We are forever grateful for him and found a new friend in Italy. Great tour and great person! Thank you Mauro!

Mauro is an AWESOME guide that I have used several times over the years. Mauro treated my group to 2 full days of exciting experiences in Roma... including (more importantly) taking us to places off the beaten track. Since we had already been to the typical attractions, he created a customized tour each day. His knowledge of history and folklore made the tours more enjoyable. His contacts helped us get into places that were obviously difficult to secure (and probably only by a local). Tours By Locals in action.!! Love you Mauro.!!

Mauro is a wonderful tour guide. He was very informative and very personable. We didn't want to leave him as he became part of the family and wished he could be our guide on the remaining tours. Mauro is fun, knowledgable and thorough in his history explanation of Rome. We would highly recommend him and miss him already! Ciao :-)

Mauro greeted us like old friends and was the most outgoing, personable, knowledgeable guide possible. He's kind, patient, flexible while sharing his enthusiasm which was exactly what our group needed. If you're fortunate to secure his services you will not be disappointed! Relax and enjoy your vacation! Deb

Touring the ancient city of Rome with Mauro was first class. Our group of seven had an age span of 12-82. He catered for everyone and ensured that we saw all the great sites and organised the best route on foot. His knowledge of history and also some tricks on avoiding the crowds made the day even better. When we had to move, his ability to park close to attractions was the gold standard. The added bonus of his charm made sure we got to see what we needed without feeling like we were in a rush.
